Para Snowboard

Athletes compete in 2 different events in 3 categories for men and 1 for women depending on the type of disability:
- Athletes with a physical disability affecting one or both legs. They can use prosthetics or modified equipment to compete.
- Athletes with a physical disability affecting one or both arms, who compete while standing.

The athletes compete in the following events:

Banked slalom
Each athlete completes three runs, and the best run determines their final ranking based on increasing time. Only one athlete is on the course at a time. The course may have a medium-pitched slope. It is ideally a naturally variable terrain with lots of bumps and dips. There are snowbanks at the gate and the athlete can choose the best path.

Snowboard cross
During qualifications, each athlete completes three runs, and the best run determines their final ranking based on increasing time. Only one athlete is on the course at a time. In head-to-head competitions, there are 16 men and 8 women in the finals, with 2 competitors (or another number set by the jury) in each run. In timed events, athletes compete one at a time.

Giant slalom
Each athlete makes two runs, and the combined time determines the final ranking. Only one athlete is on the course at a time. The course generally features a medium-pitched slope, but preferably with different pitches. It should be well groomed and the snow should be compact.

At Milano Cortina 2026, the men's and women's events will take place in Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Cortina Para Snowboard Park.
